Yes. Since the cycle doesn't appear anymore, I guess it was due to the other (now fixed) package.el bug which didn't properly delete old versions (bug#20836). I guess, some older pdf-tools version had the tablist dependency, and then when upgrading to the newer version with missing deps, tablist became auto-removable. But when starting again, package.el also found the older version which still depended on tablist, so it had to be installed again. Well, I didn't actually verify that but it seems like a plausible story. So I'm closing this issue and file a new one if it ever reappears. Bye, Tassilo
